简要总结
After sustaining severe trauma to the chest, patients will often bleed into the chest cavity (pleural space) which is called hemothorax or they may also experience air leakage within the chest cavity in combination with the bleeding (hemopneumothorax). These conditions are treated with the insertion of a tube into the chest called a chest tube (CT). Insertion of the CT is very painful for the patient due to the size or diameter of the tube. Alternative to CT is a small percutaneous catheter (PC), pigtail or non-pigtail. At Banner-University of Arizona Tucson Campus (B-UATC) investigator prefers inserting a small pigtail catheter for the management of hemothorax or hemopnuemothorax. The primary purpose of our study is to see if the use of the PC is just as effective as CT in terms of removing leaked blood and/or air from the chest cavity.
详细描述
The standard treatment for traumatic hemothorax (HTX) and hemopneumothorax (HPTX) has been an insertion of a large-bore chest tube (CT) (French 28-40). The procedure is associated with significant patient's pain and discomfort. Our institution has taken a lead role to replace chest tube insertion with percutaneous (pigtail) catheter (PC) (14F) insertion. The investigators have previously published that, not only PC works just as well as the traditional CT for both pneumothorax (1) and hemothorax( 2), but it is also associated with a significant less insertion pain and tube site pain (3). In that hemothorax study, investigator reported 36 patients who received PC for HTX (2) with the same success as 32F chest tube in term of initial output and success rate; success rate was defined as no further intervention was needed. Since the completion of that study (December 2011), our division has inserted probably 100 PC for hemothorax and hemopneumohthorax Therefore, investigator now believes that it is time for us to demonstrate the efficacy of the PC for hemothorax with a prospective and randomized study as investigators have done previously for traumatic pneumothorax (3).
The investigator hypothesizes that PC will be just as effective as CT in patients with traumatic HTX and HPTX.
Our study aim is to demonstrate the efficacy of the PC in a prospective and randomized fashion as we have done previously in pneumothorax.
Our primary end point is the success/failure rate. Failure is defined as patient require a second intervention i.e., second tube, video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS), etc.
Our secondary end points are the amount of initial tube drainage (1-hour), 24-hour, 48-hour, 72-hour; tube insertion-related complications, hospital length of stay, and patient's experience during CT/PC insertion (if patient can provide the information).
